If you unlock it and wheel it to the curb, it’s not protected anymore. Now assholes have access to it. They can dump dog shit even after the trash has been emptied on the trash day.

Are you dumb on top of being an asshole? How on earth would garbage collection take the garbage if I lock the bin and hide it away?

Yeah, what happened to community spirit and being neighborly? And I mean you. You’re acting like you’re entitled to being an asshole for your convenience at the cost of someone else’s convenience. Someone doesn’t want you to use their stuff for your shit and somehow you think they’re wrong? Get on board with community spirit and stop being an ass.

Well, I pointed out the reason why your beginning comment is problematic. And as sp3tr4l pointed out, OP’s link isn’t even the one being referred to as the neo nazi.

How about you just watch and make the call yourself? Nothing about the video made me think she’s a neo nazi nor did I think she’s a bigot. People are allowed to want and like different things. Just because they have different wants doesn’t mean they should just get random negative label on them and then be hated without actually even seeing what they say.

Here’s the origin article from torrentfreak. https://torrentfreak.com/modded-hardware-defendant-denies-nintendos-copyright-claims-in-court-241006/

Shitty IGN is just re-reporting based on torrent freak with less info.

Which version is that? The original Skyrim (aka oldrim) isn’t even purchasable on steam and hidden unless you bought it back then. But some people still play that because some old mods only support oldrim.

Special edition is the main one now. It’s holding 30k very steadily since 2020 https://steamdb.info/app/489830/charts/#breakdown

Many of modders also moved to gog version, myself included. Because I can permanently version control on gog unlike stream.

Most people don’t actually understand how copyright works. And the actual right that’s restricted is quite ridiculous but it is how it is…

Copyright is not a right given to the copyright holder, unlike every other right in law. Copyright is a exclusion placed on every other human being on earth from reproducing what you did (except few countries that didn’t sign it but practically no one lives there or is a territory that effectively works under another sovereignty which does). This distinction is very important. That is, everytime something is created, every other human now has less freedom since they could do that thing before but no longer can. So if I create an original bunny like character, that is copyrighted to me. But I could always depict that and so could you–had you thought of it. But now you no longer can.

This means that virtually every thing made in relation to that original copyright becomes illegal unless you get permission from the copyright holder. There are exceptions such as transformative, parody, fair use, etc but I’ll not get into that for now.

In other words specific to this case, every game footage on earth is illegal. But they only continue to exist by the grace of the companies not telling them to take it down. Some companies actually write into their EULA/terms that fan content, etc may be allowed, but again, those are the exceptions. The rule of law is that everything is illegal to start. And that only the copyright holder and its agents be able to request a punishment for breaking the law.

It’s a system where it makes every normal human beings into a law breaking entity first and by doing so, it allows the copyright holder to punish anyone they see fit.

This is not a frivolous DMCA. And even if it was, there has been no case where that was ever punished. Even outright perjury for DMCA–which I’ve dealt with thousands of times doesn’t actually get punished in practise.

Installer file is a direct link to an executable file from their website. They contain the full game inside the installer. There’s no reason you can’t download that on Linux as long as you have internet and a browser.

I have a 10KV electric fence. 5KV to 15KV is typical electric fence voltage in a farm or bear prevention fence. Can’t feel a thing unless you actually touch it.

They are also not lethal. Very low current, just very high voltage. So it only hurts like fuck, but won’t kill a human, cow, or any other mammal that touches it.

But nexus mod didn’t do anything. The mod creator took it down.

Mehaffey also argues Shift Up and Sony’s Stellar Blade trademark (filed in January 2023) is “confusingly similar” to his own Stellarblade trademark (filed in June 2023), citing similar colour schemes and a stylised ‘S’.

Wait… What? They filed for trademark AFTER Sony and now demanding this? That makes no sense. It sounds like Sony should sue them for trademark infringement instead.

I wonder how many people on lemmy knows that singer is a sewing machine brand.

I would assume that they are saying in a bigger scope and just happen to divide down to a ratio of 1 to 32.

Like rendering in 480p (307k pixels) and then generating 4k (8.3M pixels). Which results in like 1:27, sorta close enough to what he’s saying. The AI upscale like dlss and fsr are doing just that at less extreme upscale.

No one who does AI seriously gets AMD. AI market is extremely dominated by Nvidia.

Your lifetime is nearly 80 years. Companies lasting 80 years is ultra rare in history, large behemoths included. I bet you can already name several behemoth IT companies that’s already come and gone.

I wouldn’t trust even larger behemoths like google and MSFT to last another 80 yrs. It’s just too statistically unlikely.

I don’t know if steam does this since I have no experience selling on steam, but generally when you sell anything anywhere the sales channels will often demand that you give them the lowest retail price. Most commonly done by ones that give the most exposure since they have that much more power. Failure to do so will result in some penalty (Amazon prevents your offer from being in buy box) or just outright refusal to take your product (such as Walmart).

Additionally, customers complain too when you sell at two different pricing elsewhere. If you’re a company that gives virtually no support (like you sell pickles or whatever), you prob don’t care. But for things like games, you’ll get bombarded with demands that they got ripped off by buying from one place and ask for difference in pricing or submit a refund request. Refunds are more expensive to sellers than not selling at all since you still have to pay transaction/refund fees by payment processors. Or if physical product, cost of shipping as well.

Different sales channels having different pricing isn’t really an option. It’s not really worth it. You’ll get problems left and right.

I think feelings and personal beliefs should stay as far as possible from philosophy. Philosophy should never evolve around subjectivity such as feelings; philosophy is an attempt to be as rational and logical as possible in albeit a very subjective world. Much of philosophical arguments are made in same manner as discrete mathematics because of this but with words rather than formulas and rules. Even religious medieval philosophers attempted to be as logical as possible in their approach to explaining religion rather than relying on belief (though often fail despite their best attempts). So the “feeling of unsafe environment” isn’t something I see as compatible with any philosophical discussion as a basis of reason. There needs to be an objective as possible pivot.

We see plenty of vastly different feeling of unsafe in social media. Some of which even do so with the intent of not actually feeling unsafe but to garner views and likes. If someone is scared by everything, can we start intolerating everyone else? We don’t know where the line can be drawn between being a just society that tolerates freedoms and the one where tolerable can no longer exist.

This is why Popper proposed the entire dilemma. The violence being the pivot of intolerable intolerance isn’t his opinion. It is that with violence, tolerable objectively (as much as we can be objective) cannot exist.

Even in your example, you attempt to separate objectivity vs subjectivity in are/is versus believe respectively for the sole correctness of the former. (Even though in my view, proof of what is is going to end up as sum of your beliefs or a cyclic viewpoint.) And then the argument goes back to pivoting in the subjectivity of feelings.

If you rely on subjectivity to draw the line of what’s intolerable intolerance, then you will be intolerant of people who you subjectively view as intolerable.

Actually, you are misunderstanding the paradox of tolerance. And I would say it is one of the most frequently misquoted philosophy on discussion forums such as lemmy or reddit.

Popper asserted many times that the intolerable intolerance is violence. “Fists and pistols” as he calls it.

By intolerating at a stage by calling the other as intolerable when we’re still quite far from violence such as this case of HR management, you are proposing for an unjust society–is what Popper would say.
